Low water ramps are already to go down here . It would take an event that would live in the history books to fill Oahe up. Like 17 inches of rain over a couple days in Montana wouldn’t even do it this time.
I remember that storm because i had to put my first lab down on that Christmas eve then we lost power for 5 days with the freezing rain and snow and wind. My other lab pretty much mopped around the house with me while we kept it warm enough so pipes didnt freeze with the mr buddy and house lp...
Looks like it all moved north. My brother in law is calving but as dry as it is would rather deal with a blizzard and have some water and grass this year
that’s a sweet sight I hope they are right. As much as I bitch all winter about moving snow I want every bit of the 20 inches they are talking about. We are bad dry and ponds and sloughs need it bad.
if you listen to the pod cast about the only way you catch it is living with the birds. I agree that leaving it un checked could change that and it would be bad. People who have caught this strain of AI have a 40% survival rate.
Thats also what i thought. Its seems they worry about it mutating to some thing even worse if its let to run its course. I will say i know nothing other than my facebook virology classes the last few years
If any one is interested this guy has alot of info on it. It seems this has been known and watched for some time and its nothing that is world is done stuff yet. Just dont live with your bird and you should be pretty safe.
